特朗普拟推动政府持股AI企业,本周或开启关键谈判
Odaily Odaily News: U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing a new policy direction: having the federal government hold shares in artificial intelligence companies to directly benefit from the industry's revenue growth. Trump stated that he will hold meetings with technology companies "very soon," possibly as early as this week, to explore ways of cooperation between the government and AI firms.
This approach aligns with his "deal-oriented" style and is not driven by traditional populist motives. On June 6, 2026, Trump remarked that he "should be a stockbroker," citing the government's recent deal to take a stake in Intel.
Currently, the U.S. government already holds stakes in some companies in sectors such as chip manufacturing, mining, and quantum computing. These holdings are often used as a condition for providing federal funding, which originally did not come with equity requirements.
As the AI industry rapidly develops, some companies are estimated to be valued at trillions of dollars. Axios pointed out that firms like OpenAI and Anthropic could potentially reach such valuations in the future.
